If an idea can capture the spirit of the times, it probably has a decent chance of success. That’s why I was interested to read about Bio-Bean. A start-up that plans to turn coffee waste into coffee logs.

Coffee Logs are biomass briquettes that can be used in almost any fire-heated appliance, from pizza ovens to wood burning stoves and barbecues. Biofuels are plant-based energy sources designed specifically to replace petrochemicals and fossil fuels.  By using local waste material as the main ingredient in its products, and working with infrastructure already in place, including waste management teams, bio-bean is able to produce  carbon-neutral fuel.

I know very little about  this technology, but it seems to me that if coffee waste can be turned into fuel, other product waste could be too. So what other (ideally locally produced) waste could you turn into fuel? Perhaps something to investigate.
